nepalichhoro, >an acceptable solution mith minimal harm to human life It is easy said than done. There are three sides to peace equation in Nepal. King, Parties and Maobadis. When can there be peace when one side wants complete extermination of the other. It is sad but our situation reminds me something like that of the of middle east crisis Palestinians want complete eradication of Israel and vice versa. How can there be peace when one party cannot negotiate with the other?? Our leaders are nothing but visionless and corrupt. They will not mind selling their mothers and sisters for the mighty buck. Maobadis are the worst killers they do not mind killing their own parents if they disagree with their ideologies. King G falls in between both. So you tell if there is anyone who is willing to take responsibility for anything they have done or will do in the future. These MF netas want to exploit the masses that is going out of hand to use it to their benefit, nothing more. If they have little bit of commonsense they should negotiate with the king and do what ever needs to be done, after they are in charge. May be driving the king out or what ever. The solution they have or lack of solution that is to watch the country go in chaos and take advantage of it when it fails for their personal gain. They had not thought of the nation or the people and never will. Unless new leadership emerges out of these parties these parties will further drive Nepal into chaos not out of it.
